Tourism sector is of the sectors in Kenya that contributes a lot of revenues to the country as a result of large number of tourists who visit Kenya from various countries in the world such as United States of America (USA), United Kingdom (UK), Netherlands, Canada, Germany and many others. The recent advisory message of UK and USA embassies to their citizens who came to tour Kenya has affected the tourism sector of Kenya because many tourists have fled the country due to insecurity matters brought by frequent attacks of Al-shebab to Kenya.

Although the tourists from outside Kenya have reduced in number and have affected the tourism sector in Kenya, the fourth president of the republic of Kenya; His Excellency Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta made an initiative of reducing entry fees to tourist site such as national game parks and national game reserves so that Kenyans can now be able to afford visiting tourism attraction sites.

Most of the people who travel to tourism attraction sites do not know the directions to those areas and therefore require the people who are expert in travel and tour guide so that they can provide direction while travelling to these sites. These people are trained in various recognized institutions in Kenya and Moi University is one of them.
